Our Lady Queen of All Saints Catholic Church celebrated its 45th Anniversary as a church parish in style!
On the Feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we celebrated Holy Mass – our patronal feast. After Mass, we gathered at the Family Life Center for a Potluck Supper and a wonderful slideshow of our parish’s humble – but vibrant – beginnings. We thank Fr. Brad Guillory for spearheading the effort and putting together the slideshow.

Special guests who were present at the festivities were our first pastor (Fr.) Bob Sibille; former pastor Fr. Neil McNeil; the first man from our parish to be ordained to the priesthood Fr. Jason Vidrine (who is now pastor at Sacred Heart); and Fr. Brian Harrington (who is parochial vicar at Sacred Heart). Members of the first Pastoral Council were also present.
Other former pastors sent their warm regards and best wishes, but they were sorry they could not attend. Fr. Joseph Brennan sent a nice letter thanking the parish for the role it played in his personal development as a priest.

Not priest is shown because we didn’t have a photo of each one at the time it was made.
